Oculus' virtual reality headset to launch without fanfare

Even if it will be a gradual rise to prominence, I'm still pretty excited for it. I'm currently in the process of building a PC capable of running the Rift, and I intend to buy one. I'd like to get a feel for VR at the very least. There's a lot of potential in it, but we'll just have to wait and see whether that potential is lived up to or not.

@FoxSoraWinters and all readers, unless you've got money to burn on it, highly suggest you sit the first round of VR 2.0 out... at least the expensive side of it. If you really want a sense of the new VR experience, get a Google Cardboard kit for $15 and use your mobile (if you have an Android or iPhone).

I've tried both and Occulus is obviously a step above anything you could ever achieve with a piece of cardboard/phone, the experience is surprisingly comparable. That's my approach anyway, and I'm usually a pretty early adopter. Either way this thing will get bought plenty and the tech will only get better and units cheaper.

We've already been using the Oculus dev kits. Already ordered the retail version. We'll see
